There are two approaches, and they are mutually exclusive, they are.. 1/ Start from a strongly typed and controlled structure (like "UserMetaData") and extend it with each new use-case. This approach might help to mitigate upgrade compatibility issues, but has an analysis and design overhead. 2/ The other approach would be to go for the most general, which is anything Serializable, and leave upgrade compatibility in the hands of the gods. I would tend to come down on the side of 2/ because I'm not convinced that we can justify the amount of engineering involved in 1, and I already like the relaxed approach that servlet session has. You can build rigour on top of a loose framework but not the other way around. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
